JAOA Manuscript Checklist

The following checklists are provided for authors to help ensure that all necessary components are prepared and provided at the time of manuscript submission. All manuscripts must be submitted through our online manuscript tracking system. For more information on the elements listed in these checklists, see the JAOA's "Information for Authors."

Financial Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

All authors are required to disclose all financial and nonfinancial relationships related to the submission's subject matter. All disclosures should be included in the manuscript's title page. Those authors who have no financial or other relationship to disclose must indicate that on the manuscript's title page (eg, "Dr Jones has no conflict of interest or financial disclosure relevant to the topic of the submitted manuscript").

The following items are examples of relationships and affiliations that must be disclosed:
